Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk of choice (such as almond, oat, or regular milk)
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the pure pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
